I downloaded the PDF version and all the illustrations were perfectly sharp and clear. Not only does this aid in my own needlework but it will be much easier to identify (and value) serendipitous finds at antique stores and yard sales. The instructions give the reader a lot of credit assuming that you've read and studied your stitches and just refers to them by name. I will never look at antique needlework the same way again when I realize they were produced using written instructions and without aid of YouTube and charts!

but who has the time! You'd think today, with everything automated, microwaveable, drive-to-able, and instant, that we'd find the time to knit & crochet these excruciatingly detailed and tediously done doilies, cuffs, and jabots. I download the pdf as I don't trust the other files to contain all of the images, too many text titles here miss many images that are pretty useful or even required for some of the titles. If anyone does download this file in another format than pdf it would be great if they could leave a review on whether the images were included.
